Am I reading this right? :confused: Does this mean that I am allowed 2 bags for a total of 100 lbs?
We're flying with Air Canada to Cozumel.
Checked Baggage Allowances
Customers are allowed to check the following amounts of luggage free of charge:
Hospitality Service (to and from all destinations except Brazil and Japan)*
2 bags
For each bag:
Maximum weight 50lb (23kg)
Maximum linear dimensions 62in (158cm)
-
That is the way I read it Heather...
And for the c class it's a little more..
Executive Class/Executive First (all destinations)
3 bags, total weight of all three bags not to exceed 150 lb (69kg)
For each bag:
Maximum weight 70lb (32kg)
Maximum linear dimensions 62in (158cm)
-
I read it the same way Heather, because you have the option of substituting one of your 50 lbs. cases for your dive bag.
-
Hola Everyone........
I have 2 bags 70 lbs each, plus a carry-on 22lbs. Oh yes, a purse and a pouch also.
Bulldog: Are we allowed more than 22 lbs for a carry-on?.
I hope the weight allowance is correct because I am maxed out!

I would hold it to that :D

Sherry, you are allowed two pieces of carryon luggage each weighing 22 lbs.
Items permitted but not considered part of the allowance include harness, :D camera, coats, purses (25cm x 30cm x 20cm - 10" x 12" x 8" or less), urns containing human remains, strollers, child restraint systems, canes, crutches, walkers, containers carrying life sustaining items and other similar items.
-
Heather I think she can fit the wips and chains in there too :eek:
:rof:
-
so that's a total of 44lbs of carry on :mad:
-
I thought I was taking the whips and chains? :D
-
I just can't believe how much allowance you guys are getting. I realise, of course, that Air Canada are more generous with their allowances as they are a scheduled and not a charter operator.
On our flight we are getting 30 kilos, but only 5 kilos hand luggage.
I'm having to travel light again so, hopefully, Wossa can use some of my allowance for his dive gear.
Looks like I shall be having to do my laundry in the bathroom sink again (a la PCV) unless one of you kind ladies volunteers!!!!
-
Sherry can do the washing and I'll do the ironing. I like to iron. :D

Just found this on www.visitmexico.com (http://www.visitmexico.com) but don't know how uptodate it is:
Taxes: When leaving the country, you must pay departure and airport taxes, which cost about US$13 and US$8.50, respectively.
Doubt if there are irons in the rooms:
Standard rooms in bungalow-style two storey buildings are attractively furnished and sleep up to 2 adults and 1 child with 1 king-size or 2 double beds, private bathroom with shower, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, mini-bar (with soft drinks and beer), satellite TV, telephone, safe, hairdryer and balcony or terrace with hammock.

Hola
I copied this from another forum regarding Departure Tax in Mexico.
Freedom Ryder :7: ..........

F.R.
I don't know exactly how much it is, but I do know that it has already been paid in your 'ticket package' if you go A.I. Actually, I prefer it to how Cuba and the D.R. do it. In my mind, I know that I did pay a departure tax from Mexico, but it doesn't seem like it when you don't have to put aside money for it, and then literally hand it over at departure. Dumb, I know, but it works for me!!

Maybe it's different for you Canadians that are flying on a scheduled airline, but we will definitely have to cough up.
I have just checked in the First Choice brochure and it says:
Departure Tax and Visitor fees: Aprox $45US (subject to change) payable locally on departure. This tax is applicable for all ticket holders.
Thomas Cook brochure says it is included in their holiday price.
-
I'll put the money aside just in case, but I'm pretty sure it's included. I know in Jamaica it's included in your package. We never had to pay at deaprture except in Cuba and DR.
-
Funny, but I don't remember paying it in the DR either, just in Cuba. We might have, but I don't remember it. I know it was included in Jamaica.
-
Doubt you will have to pay as you are flying scheduled and it will be included in your package.
-
I had to pay twice last year going to the DR :(
-
Hola
When we get on the bus to go to the resort I am sure we will be told if we have to pay a departure tax.
Things could have changed by now.

Hey Heather
I still have had no further replies (on the other forum)as to the Departure Tax in Mexico.
Lets throw caution to the wind...... :confused:
We can spend all our money in Mexico but save some of those pencils you were donating to the Orphanage. :1:
We may have to sell them at the Airport in Mexico to get money to get out of the Country. :7: ...........
-
I'm sure we'll be told at our orientation meeting, if not I'll ask.
I think I read somewhere that we can use the ATM machines to get money out, so we should be ok even if we do spend all of our money.
I have no idea how much to bring, so I'll just pack another suitcase full of money. Bulldog, do you mind carrying another suitcase? :D :rof: :rof:
-
well, maybe Gambitt, Wossa and myself will find some lost spanish gold while we're diving, then we won't have to worry about saving some money for the departure tax... :rof:
-
Don't forget us 'non' divers will want our share of any pieces of eight you might locate!!!!
The Cubans believe in sharing and as we are all Cubalovers I think we should follow their lead!!!!!
-
it would be a group "find" Mr B. Not to worry.
Mind you, as Flygt pointed out, it may just extend our stay in Mexico... ;)
-
Bulldog, do you mind carrying another suitcase?
OMG you Ladies are going to wear me out :D

I'll let him off with the suitcase, but he will be carrying my drinks. :D :w:
-
As I did the last time we met - remember!!!!!
-
Well your ride should be there very see KEN, soon you in 4 days :D
-
BTW: Our departure tax is $48 US - expect yours is included in the price.
Warren and I will be expecting donations!!!!!
-
How did that work out ?
:rof:
-
bulldog: so how was first class on AC?
-
Well for me it was well worth the extra $$$ :)
-
I guess it didn't work out then :rof:
